In today’s fast-paced digital era, convenience has become the holy grail of modern living. From near-instant food delivery to seamless transportation services, technology continuously strives to make our lives easier. One notable advancement in this realm is embedded payments, in which transactions are seamlessly integrated into the user experience. Although embedded payments offer undeniable convenience for both consumers and businesses, it’s essential to carefully examine whether this convenience comes at an acceptable cost.
